Elf

Oh, hey

Woke up this morning, what could it be?
That little red hat was nowhere to be seen
Where did he go? (Ooh) no way to know (no way to know)
I guess we're playing hide-and-seek (playing hide-and-seek)

(Oh no) oh, he's sneaky, he's sly, he tip-toes through the night
He's quick, oh my, a rollercoaster ride (rollercoaster ride)
He's up (up), he's down (down), he's left (left), he's right (right)
How we gonna catch this guy?

Oh, you know that he's an elf (elf) on the shelf
Have you seen him? He's an elf (elf) on the shelf
We ain't seen him, he's an elf on the movin' and a groovin'
He was here, now he's there, now he's where? (Oh no)

I saw a trail (uh-huh) of little footprints (of little footprints)
And so I followed them (to where) up into the distance (into the distance)
Guess what I found? (What?) A sticky situation (oh no)
He was swimming 'round the soup in kitchen

Oh, he's sneaky, he's sly, he tip-toes through the night
He's quick, oh my, a rollercoaster ride (rollercoaster ride)
He's up (up), he's down (down), he's left (left), he's right (right)
How we gonna catch this guy?

(Oh, you know that he's-) oh, you know that he's an elf (elf) on the shelf
(Have you seen him?) Yeah, he's an elf (elf) on the shelf
We ain't seen him, he's an elf on the movin' and a groovin'
He was here, now he's there, now he's where?

Was he a dude on the food? (No)
A crook on a book? (No)
A snitch in the ditch? (No)
Then where should we look? (Where should we look)
Was he a bug on the rug? (No)
A fool in the pool? (No)
A goose on the loose? (No)
A punk on the trunk? (No)
A clown on the ground? (No)
A rat on the hat? (No)
Where is he at?

The toymaker extraordinaire is there, up on the stair

Watch out
Ah-ha, get him

He was just an elf on the shelf and nobody knows where he's going
Oh no
